I always thought this site was created as a means for analyzing, disscussing, and exploring different opinions, in order to gain a better understanding of a particular song. Guess I was wrong. Seems like everytime I log on here all I see is people pointlessly bitching and fighting.
I'm sure everyone is sick and tired of having to read endless one-sided opinions on why this song isn't about drugs.
Just the same, I'm know many of you all have to be tired of seeing a drug reference everytime you look up a songmeaning.
The fact of the matter is, this site is Songmeanings.net. Everyone on here is fully entitled to their own fucking opinions right? No one should been slammed just for thinking this song is about drugs. Its stupid, pointless, and just plain sad to fight over the internet.
Enough of that now..
I would really love to believe that this song was writing about weed, but I find a hard time believing that myself. It seems to me that if it was writting solely about smoking marijuana, that there would be more lyrical clues, pretaining to specific expirences or perhaps how it feels like being high and such.
I get the impression that it about excaping the hustle and bustle of the city. Breaking away from low-paying part time jobs to expirence a simple, more fulfilling life close to nature on the River Boat Queen.
but hey like my mother always told me..
opinions are like assholes son, everyone has one, but some of them are full of shit.
If someone looking for marijuana why must leave the city as it available in those city than at the river side.

Big wheel keep on turning = is refer to a river boat not related to weed.
Proud Mary keep on burning = can be about smoking marijuana and can also be about river boat funnel.

Why must be more extreme to be label as a drug influence...
Why must be more extreme to be label as a drug influence poetry(lyrics) nation and make others world feel like vomitting that English song lyrics must always be synonyms to drug.
Here's the correct lyric, straight from the writer John Fogerty:
|
| "Sometimes I write words to songs because they sound cool to
| sing. Sometimes the listener doesn't understand what I'm singing
| because I'm dedicated to singing the vowel, having fun with the
| word sounds coming out of my mouth. Cleaned a lot of plates in | Memphis, pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans,' is a good | example. I think Tina Turner sangtane' instead of `pain,' as
| in a contracted form of octane. But I knew what she meant,"
| Fogerty said."
@SomethingFrosty I don't see how it is about drugs. You can have very abd life in the city WITHOUT the use of drugs, you know.

But you are absolutely wrong. In America, we all have to have the same opinions. conformity is the rule of American society. Individual rights and needs mean nothing to anyone.
